Ancient Maori Healing Power

Romiromi Revival.

Romiromi is a centuries old holistic Māori health practice, traditionally passed down in families as an integral part of health and wellness. Working at a deep cellular level, a Romiromi treatment can reverse dysfunction in the body by releasing blocked energy, allowing the body to regain its natural flow of mauri (life force). Increased vitality, mobility, relief from pain, loss of anxiety, increased mental clarity, energy and motivation can all be experienced after a Romiromi treatment.

Romiromi can structurally integrate the body, mind and spirit. It works on the central nervous system connecting the light bodies with the physical, mental and emotional bodies. As a treatment it is a combination of body alignment, deep tissue massage and pressure on the haemata (body pressure points) to activate release of blocked energy, cellular memory and anything not serving or belonging to the body. At a deep level it can release lifetimes of trauma and disfunction held within families for generations causing imbalance and disease by reprogramming the DNA.

After a Romiromi treatment, people feel lighter as they have returned closer to their original vibration. The spiritual energies are able to flow through the body invigorating, nourishing and protecting the internal organs and body systems. On a deeper spiritual level it can clear patterns of addiction, sexual interference and inherited behaviours passed down through generations.

Traditional Māori healing in the form of Romiromi works on soft and deep tissue levels. It also encompasses the spiritual, mental, emotional, conscious, subconscious, tribal and universal in diagnosis and treatment.

This ancient wisdom was nearly lost with the Tohunga Suppression Act 1907 in New Zealand that banned all Māori spiritual and cultural practices including Romiromi and traditional Māori medicine, to make way for western medicine. It was finally repealed in 1967, but only after a devastating effect on the Māori population’s health and wellbeing.

Fortunately, Romiromi and other forms of traditional Māori healing survived by going underground for many years. While much was lost over this sixty year period, this knowledge is now being revived and shared, once again being taught openly.

Please join us TONIGHT at The Sound Temple for the event Gratitude and Love: Fill your Heart with the Glow of Thankfulness (Weekly Guided Meditation)

A powerful, creative force flows through us when we focus on the areas of our life we are thankful for. An attitude of gratitude is a powerful statement of self - love and worthiness. It resonates an acknowledgement of love to the Universe which is met and then returned, often resulting in the flow of more abundance. May is the month of expansiveness and the recognition of the light that exists in our lives. These meditations will leave you with a sense of deep peace, radiance and grace.

Do you find yourself making New Year’s resolutions and after a few weeks falling back into old habits? Have you tried setting goals only to find that they are out of alignment with your heart and soul and ultimately who you REALLY are?

Here at The Sound Temple, we are blessed to work with some amazing facilitators who bring their gift of meditation and mindfulness to our space here in Perth Hills to share with you every Monday evening.

Meditation is a practice that gives balance emotionally, physically and spiritually and has been proven over and over again to be an incredibly powerful way of manifesting your heart’s desires and can be transformational when it comes to turning your dreams into reality.

These sessions are perfect for everyone – whether you are about to start your journey into meditation or whether you have felt the benefits of mindfulness and the positive impact it can have on your life and want to commit to a regular practice.

Buddha was asked, “what have you gained from meditation”? He replied, “nothing, but let me tell you what I have lost – anger, anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear of old age and death”.

We welcome you with soft hearts and open arms to our sacred space every Monday evening from 7.15pm for an hour of Guided Meditation with one of our facilitators. Be taken on a journey where you can see in your mind’s eye the path before you and be prepared to manifest your wildest dreams. The evening concludes with a debrief and discussion about your experience if you wish. Please arrive 5 minutes early to enable you to leave the stresses of the day behind you and allow your body and mind to relax into the experience.

New beginnings are most certainly in the air this month at The Sound Temple and our latest newsletter is full-to-overflowing with opportunities for you to try something new or build on foundations already laid. Pull up a super comfy chair, make an extra large cuppa and enjoy the read and we'd love to see you soon.

According to philosopher and spiritual teacher Meredith Forder, “If everyone practiced a little Karma Yoga (selfless action) there would be a meteoric rise of peace within and in the world. Meaning that mental health issues would rapidly decline. People would no longer suffer from stress, anxiety, fear and depression.”
Discover how Karma Yoga can help you gain inner peace and contentment in daily life at this Sunday’s Satsang (inspired spiritual talk and discussion) 19th of May 2019.

What distracts us from inner peace and contentment is our mind’s anxiety, ego and expectations. The ancient spiritual practice of Karma Yoga reduces ego and quietens the mind by offloading expectations and other mental baggage. As a result you become calm and composed, enabling you to handle life’s challenges with dignity, poise and ease.
